With 159 games down, there are just three left in the Atlanta Braves’ 2026 regular season. Those final three will be played at Miami, starting Friday at 7:10 p.m. EDT, before the Braves return to Truist Park to host a best-of-three wild-card series against a TBD team starting next Tuesday. But first, Atlanta has a […]
While the Braves are taking a very passive approach to their pitching this weekend in order to best align for next week’s wild-card series at Truist Park, the lineup is being kept in top condition. For Game 1 of its final regular-season series at Miami (Friday at 7:10 EDT), Atlanta is using a lineup that […]
An Atlanta Braves pitcher was just three outs away from $1 million.
Shohei Ohtani is still baseball’s biggest seller. The Los Angeles Dodgers star has MLB’s most popular jersey for the fourth consecutive season, becoming the first player to accomplish the feat since the league began tracking sales in 2010. Ohtani leads a top five that includes New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge at No. 2, Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong at No. 3, Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. at No. 4 and San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. at No. 5. The rankings...
We’ve reached the final weekend of the season and the 2026 NL East champion Atlanta Braves have officially locked themselves into the three-seed and will be starting their Postseason journey at home in the Wild Card Series. What we already know We do know what day these games are going to be played but we […]
With the division already clinched, there wasn’t much for the Atlanta Braves to play for entering the final week of the regular season. But with their two losses in the Reds series locking the Braves into the No. 3 seed and no first-round bye, there’s really nothing to play for in this weekend’s final regular-season […]
Atlanta Braves star pitcher Chris Sale has enjoyed another memorable season. While he likely won’t win the National League Cy Young Award given the presence of Jacob Misiorowski, Sale has still been tremendous for the Braves. Sale, however, reached the 200-strikeout mark for the season after striking out 10 Cincinnati Reds in a 3-2 win […]

With the division having been locked up last weekend and the seeding essentially being locked in as well, this was pretty much a dead-rubber series for the Atlanta BRaves as they took on a struggling Cincinnati Reds squad that is also playing out the string. As such, the main thing that everybody was looking for was simply quality of performance and health rather than actual results. The Braves have gotten the results that they needed for the 2026 regular season and all they need now is to gea...
Lindsay welcomes veteran baseball writer Jason Foster of Sport & State for an in-depth conversation about Atlanta’s postseason: If the Martín Pérez injury meaningfully changes things, why they SHOULDN’T want to face Philly, why Mauricio Dubón is a “Really Annoying Postseason Guy” (complimentary), and more!

The Phillies are heading toward October, but who could they face in the Wild Card Series? 👀 On this episode of the PHLY Phillies Podcast, we break down three potential Wild Card opponents: the Atlanta Braves, San Diego Padres, and Chicago Cubs. How do the Phillies match up against each team? We dive into each potential series and analyze the lineups, starting pitching, bullpen, strengths, weaknesses, and key matchups that could determine whether the Phillies advance. ⚾ In this episode: 🔴 Phill...
It was announced on Friday that Martin Perez is headed to the IL with back inflammation. He will miss the Wild Card Series and won’t be eligible to return until the middle of the NLDS. More than likely, he’s out until at least the NLCS, if the Braves make it that far. So, who will […]
Martin Perez came from pretty much out of nowhere, including his own DFA earlier in the season, to chip in handily for the Braves. While he was more fortunate-and-or-availing-himself-of-the-defense than good (73 ERA- but a 104 FIP- and a 107 xFIP-), the Braves weren’t exactly awash in non-Chris Sale effective starters for much of the season, so Perez was far more helpful than not. Given that, he was probably in the mix for serious innings consideration in any non-Sale, non-Tyler Mahle postseas...

When it comes to the actual acquisitions, the Braves may have won the trade deadline. Tyler Mahle has been the best starting pitcher that was moved. There’s not a close second, as he’s posted a 1.99 ERA over nine starts and was acquired for a journeyman reliever. All the Braves had to do was pick […]
The Atlanta Braves announced Thursday that left-hander Martín Pérez is headed to the 15-day injured list with inflammation in his lower back. The move is retroactive to September 21. In a corresponding move, the club called up righty Elieser Hernández. It’s unfortunate timing as the Postseason is right around the corner, but skipper Walt Weiss […]
LOS ANGELES — Before the Dodgers even took the field on Thursday night, they had something to celebrate. After the Braves’ 7-6 loss to the Reds, the Dodgers clinched one of the top two records in the National League and a first-round bye in the postseason. They will have home-field advantage in the best-of-five NL Division Series, which begins on Oct. 3. Dodgers Postseason Tickets are On Sale Now! The Dodgers could make a play for the top seed in the NL, which would give them home-field advant...
The Braves appeared to be on their way to a victory in the home regular season finale, but a shaky start from Tyler Mahle and a lineup that went quiet after the early innings led to a 7-6 lost at Truist Park on Thursday night. Mahle, making his final start before the postseason, had his […]
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers will open the 2026 postseason at home at Dodger Stadium. The Atlanta Braves’ loss on Thursday coupled with the Dodgers’ home loss to San Diego clinched the No. 2 seed for the Dodgers in the National League playoffs, ensuring a bye past the wild card round. The Dodgers will begin […]
With three games remaining before the 2026 MLB postseason begins, the Atlanta Braves will be missing one of their starting pitchers through the first two rounds of the playoffs. Martín Pérez was placed on the 15-day injured list with low back inflammation, the Braves announced on Thursday. Atlanta was able to backdate Pérez’s IL stint to Sept. 21, which means he will be eligible to return on Oct. 6. Game 3 of the National League Division Series is scheduled for that date. Pérez felt discomfort...
The Dodgers on September 14 beat the Reds to clinch a playoff berth for the 14th season in a row, tying the major league record also held by the Atlanta Braves, who made it to 14 consecutive postseasons from 1991-2005. Los Angeles won again in Cincinnati on September 15, which eliminated the Arizona Diamondbacks from […]

By Darragh McDonald | at September 24, 2026 5:33pm CDT The Braves announced that left-hander Martín Pérez has been placed on the 15-day injured list with low back inflammation, a move that was previously reported. Right-hander Elieser Hernández has been selected to take his place on the roster. To open a 40-man spot for Hernández, righty Hurston Waldrep has been recalled and placed on the major league 60-day injured list. More to come.
